Busy

Hello Everyone

Well I had a unexpected busy weekend. We celebrated our fifty second anniversary on Sun. and some of our children and grand children came over to celebrate with us. So we had 12 more people at the dinner table. What a blessing to see eight of our grandchildren all growing into such wonderful teens and all having such fun with each other. They are all around the same age and that makes for a great day. It is hard to think that 52 years have gone by, it seems only yesterday that we got married. But then you think of all that we were blessed with, it is hard to think to forget that we are just simply blessed. Not to many people have the privilege to make it that many years.
  My sister and brother in law are having their sixtieth on Sat .so that is another mile stone. My parents made it to sixty six years. I guess we have a ways to go, but it seems to fly by.
     Well the weather is getting cold and  we are getting closer to winter, something to look foreword to.
 You all have a good week, enjoy the blessings that come your way.
             Lots of hugs Margaret

Hello Everyone
     I just got a new computer, and with a little work I think I am going to like it. The key board is larger and I now have windows 8,  and it is so different then the old one.  You know what they say by trial and error I am getting there slowly.

                    It has been a rather cold in the mornings so far but the afternoons are very pleasant.
The sun is out and it feels as though it might just get to be a warm afternoon. The days are shortening especially in the morning it is just so dark. I'm not sure why we are waiting to change the time till Nov.?  They say" whoever they are" that we conserve energy but I can't see it .Now you have to have your light on in the morning and earlier at night. But the way the government is being run I don't think they know what conserving means!!!

A Hard Week



    This week was a very difficult week. Friends of ours had a baby on Friday night,  and he was born with heart problems, and died twenty minutes later. The funeral was on Wednesday and it was a heart wrenching time. The church was pretty much full of people , but I don't think there was a dry eye in the building, especially when the father carried in the casket. The parents are true Christians,  and that is so wonderful to see that their faith in God sustains them. I know that they will rely on that faith in the coming days and years.

                       For the rest of the week it just has been such beautiful weather it is like summer. Last night it was so hot in the sitting room there wasn't a breeze at all so we turned the fan on and that is October. Well we will take it !
            Today we are celebrating my brother in laws birthday, he turned 83 this week. I guess we are all getting older, but he is very healthy and that is a great blessing. Actually all of us are real healthy and those are blessings we don't always think of. We all are very active and that does help, but if your sick it is hard to be active and that does limit a person.
         I can't believe it is the end of the week already so I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy Gods goodness!
      Hugs Margaret
